[pct-l] Exact location of trailhead parking at Warner Springs?

[msaenz at mve-architects.com (Mike Saenz)]

"Most people don't hike the loop in between. "

I started off just before dawn after being dropped off by Erik Yakel,
who began at the north 79 crossing the weekend I did Warner/74. As I
rounded the first hill behind the golf course, a red dawn broke and I
spent about 20 minutes just staring at the blaze of red scalloped sky
brightening from the east. I wish I had my camera!

Really? Most don't hike the PCT loop behind the golf course?
I was still savoring the oak groves after the desert between Oriflamme
and Barrel Spring. The short walk through the campground, crossing the
79 again and into Agua Caliente meant more oaks for me!

Hey Ralph and Susan
No more hiking until after the KickOff.  

Warners has two trailheads, one north of town and one south both on 79. 
Most people don't hike the loop in between.
On the south the best place to park is west of 79 where the mobile
classroom is.
For a little added assurance, walk into the classroom and ask for Myrtle
(or anyone).
Ask her what part of the huge space would be best to park for a few
days.
Across the street at the school I hear your car can get locked in.

North Warners trailhead?  Dirt area on the road just north of the
trailhead.

Are you planning on coming down soon?
